Please allow me some corrections to your thesis, Mr. (it is Mr., right?) Brit. Yugoslavia was created after the Great War by its constituent peoples. While their choice was later ratified in Geneva by the major Allies, the decision was made by the people of Yugoslavia. Thats hardly artificial in my book, certainly not compared with some of the confections that Britain has foisted on the world. As for Tito and the communism thing, well, we can thank the Brits for that as well. Given your country's sorry record in meddling with other nations' affairs, perhaps it's time to start keeping your hands off, eh?
You say, "Yugoslavia was created....... by the people of Yugoslavia." Well I dont think there was any referendum, or vote on it by the people at large. It was a deal done by the powers that be. The name says it all, Yugoslavia....all Slavs. What about the Croats, Montenegrins, Bosnian Muslims, and Albanian Kosovars, did they vote for it? I dont think so.
You say, quite rightly, that Yugoslavia was a leader of the "non-aligned movement", as if that indicated some measure of neutrality.
But surely a group which includes Communist Vietnam, Egypt under Nasser, Iran, Iraq, Cuba, every tinpot African dictatorship etc, could not, in the real world, be considered neutral in the struggle between western democracy, and communist dictatorship.
By the way Mr Gael, is that Gael as in Gaelistan the well know neutral Irish Republic from the second world war?
